Description

Tunnel for drying fruits and vegetables
Technical Field
In the industrial process of fruit handling, two drying processes are of prominent importance, namely a second process after washing and before waxing (referred to as "pre-drying stage") and after waxing (referred to as "drying stage") for preventing the fruits from sticking together making handling difficult and preventing their appearance from deteriorating.
The present invention relates to a high-capacity drying tunnel (tunnel) for fruits, vegetables or the like for drying said fruits in a step following washing or waxing, thus improving the existing techniques currently used, enlarging the work load and the drying speed.
Background
In current systems of existing drying tunnels for conventional use, the fruit is moved into passing through one of its ends by means of a moving roller conveyor. Although this transport can be done in many ways, one of the most commonly used is the way of including rollers, as it enables the fruit to rotate and move simultaneously. The wet fruit advances over a roller, wherein a fluid flow of hot air is applied from a pressure generator, usually located in the upper part of the tunnel, to facilitate the air flow and the output towards the outside of the water covering the surface of the fruit by means of gravity.
The mechanical configuration of the tunnel is designed so that the air flow is pressed against the fruit along the entire path, causing it to collide with the fruit, causing it to dry from the outlet by means of longitudinal grooves called "air knives". The direction of flow may be in the same direction as the fruit moves, or counter-current, so as to catch (catch) the fruit as the temperature increases in the advancing direction, depending on the manufacturer.
One disadvantage of this system is that the hot air tends to remain in the upper part of the duct where it encounters less flow resistance, so the tunnel is dimensioned to ensure a contact time between the fruit and the hot air sufficient to achieve drying, the air outlet being very close to the fruit with sufficiently high speed, without altering the characteristics of the product.
To improve drying performance, some models have fans installed in the upper portion of the tunnel to accelerate the air flow, since the air flow is greatly reduced as it approaches the end of the tunnel. However, uneven flows may result, which do not dry all the pieces evenly, receive excessive hot air in some areas and insufficient flow in other areas, and require higher consumption than would be required if evenly distributed.
In other cases, the use of lateral fans aims to suck the air from the lower part of the roller conveyor and to drive it over the fruit, thus favouring the formation of turbulent flow in the region close to the fans, rather than laminar flow. This solution is inefficient in its performance because the fan does not reach the full size of the tunnel width, so that there is a difference in drying between the fruit passing through the centre of the tunnel and the fruit passing to the sides.
The problem of slowing down the air flow along the tunnel is known, some drying tunnels comprise an array of vertical or inclined fans, proceeding from the middle of the duct, according to the direction of the fruit, wherein the speed and temperature of the flow has been reduced. Thus, in addition to favouring the advance of the hot flow, an increase in the speed of the air with respect to the fruit is achieved, thus improving the performance of the plant.
Other parts of the mechanism with large dependency to be considered are the parts that contribute to the air quality, especially in the process of heating the drying air through it. Most of the previous systems use heat pumps with double exchange, first passing the air through a cold exchanger at the end of the tunnel, drying the air that has come into contact with the fruit, and then through a heat exchanger, in order to increase the temperature and reduce the relative humidity even more due to the expansion effect.
Such systems are more common in industrial dryers for rice and coffee beans and other fruits (ammonium glasses). The main difference is therefore that it works with air of low relative humidity, regardless of the ambient conditions.
Several inventions are notable (stand out), such as the one included in ES8206159 a1, which relates to a system for drying fruit in tunnels having 48 elongated nozzles that direct and vertically spray air generated in a fan over the fruit.
Due to the longitudinal positioning of the nozzles, conventional drying cannot reach all tunnel elements, thereby distributing the air unevenly throughout the fruits and vegetables. Furthermore, by having such an arrangement with an elongated open surface, a space is created through which hot air cannot be received directly.
Document US1447493A discloses another fruit drying system that directs air towards a tank, where the air is expelled at high speed through openings in the lower surface of the tank towards the fruit circulating on a conveyor belt. Said invention does not mention the type or cross section of these openings, nor the distribution of the openings along the lower surface, as in document US4777734A (which describes a tunnel having outlet holes in its lower surface which discharge air vertically above the items to be dried) and document WO02093097a1 (which relates to a drying system comprising two drying zones also perpendicular to the fruit moving under the machine, the air outlets being longitudinal).
Disclosure of Invention
With the described background in mind, the present invention is designed to solve the drawbacks of the prior art, improve performance and ensure that more fruit can be dried with the same air quality. Furthermore, the construction of the model detailed in the previous patent is simplified, improving the functional performance of the tunnel, enabling a higher productivity to be obtained during this processing stage.
To this end, the system is designed so that the hot air outlet for drying the fruits and vegetables is achieved by means of small circular or elliptical holes or nozzles, which enable an increase in the amount of air in contact with the surface of the fruit skin, maintaining the thermodynamic conditions of the air throughout the tunnel, and making the velocity of the air as high as possible at the moment of impact on the fruit, to favour the mechanical dragging of the water, and at the same time reducing the atmospheric pressure in this area, favouring the evaporation of the water without damaging the fruit.
More specifically, the invention consists of a drying tunnel for fruits or vegetables comprising at least one impact and heating chamber and a plenum (plenum) configured for receiving the outgoing hot air generated in the impact and heating chamber by the aforementioned generator.
The tunnel plenum comprises holes having a circular or elliptical cross-section arranged in a staggered pattern on a flat lower surface of the plenum, wherein the hole density is between 150 and 300 holes per square meter.
The holes are configured for discharging the distributed hot air in a vertical manner from inside the plenum towards a conveyor system that moves the fruits and vegetables to be dried.
The distribution of holes with a staggered pattern on the lower surface of the air chamber has been configured so that all parts of the transported element receive the hot air directly and vertically, and they are dimensioned so that all pressure energy is converted into velocity.
The air chamber consists of a closed space, wherein the air is distributed in the same way throughout the inner volume of the space. To this end, the air chamber has a decreasing rectangular cross section as it moves away from the air inlet, for maintaining the pressure conditions in the entire tunnel throughout the entire process from the beginning to the end of the fruit piece transport.
Thus, the air chamber is configured such that it releases hot air under the same pressure and temperature conditions throughout the movement of the fruit, achieving a more uniform flow distribution over all the holes in the tray by virtue of the geometry of the air chamber.
In one embodiment, the impingement and heating chamber includes a turbine that generates high pressure air and a heat generator that heats the air generated by the turbine.
In essence, the developed system functions by using the turbine as a source of hot air impingement above the air chamber at constant pressure. The air chamber releases air through its lower surface by means of a matrix of holes or openings regularly located on said surface.
The temperature reached by the output hot air from the impingement and heating chambers received by the plenum is between 25 ℃ and 45 ℃, which facilitates proper drying of the mass, since complete drying of the mass cannot be achieved at lower temperatures, and temperatures above the indicated range imply unnecessary energy loads.
When the drying tunnel is in operation and receives the outgoing hot air from the impingement and heating chamber, the static pressure of the air chamber is between 300 Pa and 800 Pa, which facilitates a proper air flow inside the tunnel and thus an optimal drying of the fruit mass.
The exit velocity of the hot air distributed through the holes from the plenum towards the fruit mass is comprised between 20 and 50 m/s, due to the operating regulations of the turbine impacting and heating the chamber and the configuration adopted by the openings.
In one embodiment, the tunnel comprises at least one aspirator element configured for drawing in the distributed hot air discharged through the openings and guiding the air drawn in by the aspirator through at least one lateral duct into the impact and heating chamber, generating a flow of hot air inside the tunnel due to the low pressure generated and to the mechanical drag of the water.
The aspirator sucks in a percentage of the distributed hot air that has previously been discharged through the openings, approximately between 50% and 90% of said air.
The intake air redirected to the impingement and heating chamber is mixed with the outside air, which is at a lower temperature and has a lower humidity than the intake air, which enters through the grille, the mixture of air being used for re-use in the drying of the fruit.
The aforementioned conveyor system consists of a roller conveyor, since, as mentioned in the background, it is a system that enables the pieces to be dried to move correctly and that enables them to rotate, so that the jets of air coming from the openings can reach the entire surface of each piece.
As the movement of air perpendicular to the fruit is released, the flow rate in contact with the surface is significantly increased and by concentrating the air directly towards the fruit, the drying process is improved.
Furthermore, by sucking the distributed hot air, which has been slightly cooled during the drying phase, the hot air intake through the holes is improved due to the low pressure generated in the suction, which improves the mechanical drag of the water and at the same time reduces the pressure in this area, thus facilitating the evaporation of the water.
Thus, in addition to the circular or elliptical arrangement of the air outlet openings, the novelty of the system is also the internal aerodynamics for improving the performance in both the drying phase and the pre-drying phase.
The productivity of the drying tunnel with this system is increased by a factor of two with respect to the productivity indicated in the background art. In other words, if the volume of heated air is compared with the amount of steam to be expelled, a tunnel of the same size as a conventional tunnel with this system can be operated at twice the throughput, thereby achieving good performance.

Detailed Description
As can be seen in the figures (in particular in fig. 7), the tunnel for drying fruits and vegetables, object of the present invention, consists of an impact and heating chamber (2), which impact and heating chamber (2) comprises a turbine and a heat generator, so that in this space an outgoing hot air flow (6) is generated which enters the air chamber (3) at a constant pressure.
The gas chamber (3), in the shape of a rectangular duct, has a rectangular cross section which decreases along its length, so that it enables the pressure conditions inside it (pressures between 300 Pa and 800 Pa) to be maintained.
As can be seen in FIG. 2, there are approximately 300 openings/m on the lower surface (1) of the air chamber2Which enables the distributed hot air (4) to be output towards a roller-based conveyor system (9) in which fruits or vegetables wetted as a result of a previous cleaning or waxing process are moved in order to be dried.
This distributed hot air (4) discharged through the openings (10) of the lower base (1) impinges directly on the surface of the fruits or elements present in the conveyor system (9) in a vertical manner, so that, due to its speed and temperature, it dries them during the period in which they move through the tunnel.
Due to the staggered arrangement of the openings (10) over the entire discharge surface (1), all parts of the fruit present in the conveyor system receive a flow of hot air from the moment they enter the tunnel until they come out at a constant speed in an efficient process in which the elements to be dried are not damaged.
The distributed hot air (4) used in the drying process is sucked by two aspirators (7) located on the sides of the initial section of the conveyor system (9) below the impingement and heating chamber (2), improving the air intake through the holes (10) due to the low pressure generated in the suction and the dragging of the water carried by the fruit on the surface.
These aspirators (7) generate an aspirated air flow (5) which, despite having dried the humidity present in the tunnel, remains at a higher temperature than the outside, and therefore is recirculated through two ducts (8), one for each aspirator (7), towards the impingement and heating chamber (2), for re-use, so that less energy is required from the heat generator to increase the temperature of the output hot air (6).
In order to reduce the humidity that this sucked-in air flow (5) may have, it mixes with the air coming from the outside from the grille (11) located at the rear portion of the impingement and heating chamber (2), providing the air mixture with optimal conditions for drying, which are controlled to adjust the degree of heating.
